I only do porcelain veneers on lower incisors whenever I'm raising the vertical dimension of occlusion. Because then, I can have a lot of space, Jaz. But if I don't have that space which we never do have that space, then we can do a very thin layer of composite. Jaz's Introduction:Hello Protruserati! I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to another episode of Protrusive Dental Podcast. Today we're joined by Dr. Javier Queiroz, from Costa Rica, who is one of the best dentists I know when it comes to composite resin artistry. This guy has been doing it for so long to such a high caliber. I look at his work and I think, WOW! And I want to basically piece apart his thinking process. How he uses composite? What are the best ways to get the maximum results using composite resin? And what are the sort of limits? When should you consider ceramic? Which is a theme we've covered before in the podcast. But it's always great to have new perspectives.
